Madagascar President claims attempted coup is underway

"President of Madagascar Andry Rajoelina has announced that an attempt to illegally seize

power is underway in the country.
The announcement came amid weeks of anti-government protests that have increased pressure on the President to resign.
A day earlier, soldiers of the CAPSAT — the same unit that helped Rajoelina come to power through a coup in 2009 — called on their fellow troops to stop following the President’s orders and to support the young protesters." Ukrin
